ESTRATÉGIAS BIOCLIMÁTICAS NA ELABORAÇÃO DE ANTEPROJETO DE UMA UNIDADE DE PRONTO ATENDIMENTO

Abstract

The Unified Health System (SUS) is Brazil's main public health policy, established to ensure universal access to healthcare. This study investigates the functioning of SUS in the city of Naviraí, Mato Grosso do Sul, revealing that the lack of a 24-hour Urgent Care Unit (UPA) burdens the Municipal Hospital. Bioclimatic architecture is proposed as a solution to optimize environmental comfort while respecting the region's climatic specifics. Additionally, the article examines strategies that can adapt to the city's climate, emphasizing natural ventilation and lighting, thereby creating more humanized hospital environments. A case study of the Sarah Hospital in Salvador highlights the effectiveness of these strategies. Finally, this article proposes a preliminary draft employing bioclimatic strategies for implementing an UPA in Naviraí.
